New First-Year Students

You are considered a first-year student if you have attempted less than 18 college credits

First-year students will register for classes during the advising day campus visit portion of New Student Orientation.

Students are informed about New Student Orientation once Penn State receives your $230 Enrollment Fee. You will take an Educational Planning Survey and Placement Tests, then register for a New Student Orientation date to visit campus.

New Transfer Students

You are considered a transfer (advanced standing) student if you have attempted 18 or more college credits.

Transfer students are sent a Registration Information packet from the Campus Registrar’s Office after Penn State receives your $230 Enrollment Fee. See Resources For New Students below.

Re-enrolling Students

Former degree-seeking students who wish to return to the University after a period of interruption in their enrollment may request Re-enrollment by completing and submitting a Re-enrollment Form and the $20 Re-enrollment Fee to the Campus Registrar’s Office.

Once your Re-enrollment Request has been reviewed and finalized, you will be mailed a Re-enrollment Confirmation letter along with a Registration Information packet containing Resources For New Students below.

Registration is not complete until payment of tuition and fees or confirmation of registration electronically (when all charges will be covered by Financial Aid).
• Students receive an email when the eBill is available on eLion (after classes have been scheduled)
• Registration is complete upon the appropriate action taken on the eBill by the bill due date
• Additional details are available at the Bursar website or in the Campus Finance Office, Dawson 8

*These dates apply to full semester courses. Refer to eLion "Course Drop Dates" application for further information. Starting with the first day of the class, a tuition penalty may be charged if the course is dropped.
